I got a call on my job today from two men Allen Cooper (#415-952-5532) who left a message & I spoke with a Tom Copper (#779-552-5253) supposedly working for the Federal Credit Investigation Bureau stating I have credit cards & a cash advance for $300 unpaid using the last four of my social security from Feb 2012 (no such)!!! He also informed me this is a criminal violation, check fraud, etc (language barrier) which could be settled in or out of court & asked how would I like to pursue out of court by paying $496 now or receive a letter in the mail to go to court which fees could be up to $3800? My response to him was give me the # of the SO CALLED cash advance I had received $ from because somebody gonna straighten me I'm not agreeing to pay a D** thing I didn't receive!! He then gave me a bogus # 786-484-7047 who I called but to only get a voicemail of a guy who barely speaks english!! They have continued to call my phone thereafter back to back which I was not in a location to discuss but TRUST when they call again they will get the MF BUSINESS!!!
I got a call on my voicemail from a man with a thick,heavy middle eastern accent stating his name is Michael Johnson and if I didn't return his call legal action would be brought against me with 3 pending charges. I called him back and he was very rude stating that if I didn't pay a minimum of $500 that I would be arrested that afternoon on my job. I panicked and told him that I didn't owe anything and then he proceed to say that my license,social security,bank and credit cards would all be blacked list plus I would be arrested and brought to court for legal action pending 3 charges. He gave me an hour to go to a 7-eleven to purchase a green dot money pack card and put the money on it. I was petrified and I felt in my heart it was a scam because I owe nothing and I'm currently a victim of Identity Theft. I will contact the FTC again first thing Monday to file a new complaint to go along with my Identity Theft case. I feel so relieved to have been able to have read everyone's comments and know its truly a scam and that the news have done a report on it.
